The Backlog:

Oregon

We do not know the extent of the backlog in Oregon. Like most states, Oregon does not require its law enforcement agencies to track or count rape kits. In fact, just three states do—Colorado, Illinois and Texas—and because of the reforms these states have implemented, we now have a more accurate picture of the backlog there. This can happen in Oregon, too. Take action today to advocate for transparency and change from our elected officials.
